We have become accustomed to all of the messages that encourage us to want more. As we approach Christmas, we need to remember that happiness is not found in wanting more. Instead of making a list of our wants, we can make a list of our blessings and gifts from God.
God gives us all we have and all we need. Instead of wanting more, we need to take inventory of all we have been given. It is through God that we are given life. It is God that can provide us with true happiness. We need to accept God's gifts. From our earthly possessions to eternal life with Him, God continues to give and provide so we can find happiness!
Accept God's gifts, be thankful, and find happiness!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all the gifts that You give. Help me to accept these gifts and to find happiness in all that You provide. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
